I hope he stays and think he will but Pickering and Edmund saying are working behind the scenes to get him **** off.
Even if he was to leave he is back to 2 first rounders value.

Wanted him out the door but he has been ****ing fantastic - type of player we always knew he was capable of being. Must keep him.
My preferred position is to keep him and he does appear much happier, which tends to happen when the team and the individuals form is good.
However reading between the lines from the interview he gave the AFL website, I still think his ultimate goal is to return home to Victoria when he finally settles.
I don't think that is out of any desire to change clubs or chase money but is essentially a return home at some stage to settle.
For the clubs planning purposes the choice is whether they move earlier and cash in on some trade value or try to convince him to play his career out here in SA.
I reckon he plays another year out of his contract till the end of 2021 and then the club has a big call to make as to whether they move, as they still have some leverage with one year left on his current contract to play out .

Wtf..I thought he already had.. 
Don't you love the Victorian media. Talking crap again.
Ollie only said last week he is very happy at Port and is not considering going back to Victoria.
Apparently as late as last week doesn’t count

Damo on the bus ride at school
Some real sliding doors from last year's trade period. If we'd offloaded SPP for Fantapants and a soiled O Wines for magic beans I doubt we'd be sitting on a double chance right now.

Great points.
If he's going to leave in a year or 2's time, maybe we work something this year whilst we can get Crouch.
Some people suggest us going after Moore, only way we can possibly get him or another top tier player is to give up are own top tier, which if we can get Crouch would probably be Ollie.
Either Ollie is playing the classic "I'm not going anywhere/there's no way I'll be at X club next year" role only to backflip suddenly ala Gary Ablett to Gold Coast or James Hird as Essendon coach, OR he really isn't going anywhere and the media is just making sh*t up again.
I'd like to think it's the latter. The way we are playing I'm not sure why he'd want to leave unless there's some underlying homesickness/family issues no one is aware of.

Tweet liked by Ollie's mum. End discussion.

Kind of a Jagger-Tarzan
If it gets an angry react from Ollie's dad we're screwed though.
I got completely the opposite feel from that interview. I think with the right contract and maybe even the captaincy he would stay here with this list pretty quickly over going to a rebuilding Carlton or Essendon. He is driven more by the opportunity of success more than the opportunity to go home to currently mediocre teams so he can see family and friends from Echuca a bit more often for the next five years.

Barrett now says he’s staying
Hope your right , as I would like to see him play his career out with the club, but I still feel that the end of 2021 is going to be a critical decision point for both him and the club in terms of his final years and last major contract. At end of 2021 he will be 27 and looking at his final large contract, so he will be having to make a big call. I think its more then just family / friends as I seem to remember that he has family business interests that he's looking to get into.
